C: The Complete Guide to Insufficiency by David Thomas Broughton
As suggested by Chris Sparrow
This is not your normal album. This album was not recorded in a studio with thousands of pounds of equipment. This album was not mixed, adding layers of instruments over each other, compressed, mastered. This album was recorded in a church. This album was recorded in one take. This album is what it is and what it is is simplicity.
This album has a very slightly out of tune guitar.
When Chris offered up this album to the failed fortnightly (not biweekly) A-Z project, he described this album as “mostly just eccentric mumblings over looped acoustic guitar”. And to be honest I cannot add much more to that description.
There isn't much to this review. Then again there isn't much to this album. Sometimes you don't need much for perfection (... the album’s alright too).
6/10
Serving suggestion:
Do not listen to this album if you are yearning for intricate lyrics painting grand vistas or odysseys but more if you are looking for some beautiful music as bed to your evening, before you go to bed or as you stay up into the wee hours of the evening.
